Internships Opportunities:

They provide you with summer intern opportunities in the third and fourth semesters, which you can opt for by filling out the Google form provided to apply for the internship, and if you qualify, you simply do it for the placements. It's like if you get one offer one fixed offer and you accept it, then you can't move with another of your opportunities that you will be receiving during your placement time, but if you have ongoing interviews in numerous companies, then you can complete the process in all of them. Also, there is a certain limit, like if you get, this is an example, only if you have received a package of four LPA, then you can apply for companies that are providing you more than eight LPA, so there should be some difference

Thapar University: 2 Answered Questions

Is Thapar university still good? If yes, then why are its closing ranks higher? If no, then why did it lose its shine?

Namrata Das
Agnish MukherjeeBE from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology

Thapar University is a good institution. I would like to talk about the three parameters on which one would assess a university and tell you how Thapar is performing in each-

  1. Placements- Placements are pretty good at Thapar University. If you are among the top performers, you will find yourself placed in a big company. Some of the big companies that visit the campus for placements are- Texas Instruments, Sandisk, Maruti Suzuki, Honda, etc. 
  2. Academics- Thapar is pretty decent academically. Since 2015 it has changed its curriculum. The new curriculum is project-based. In the first year, you will get to learn about Catapult Design and in the second year, you will get to do a Buggy project. This institution offers some unique projects to its students and if you are hungry for knowledge, Thapar University is the right institution. 
  3. Infrastructure- The infrastructure is good and the sports facilities are ample. There are four tennis courts, one football cum race track, one cricket ground, two basketball courts, one volleyball ground and one extra ground to play the sports of your choice. There are 6 boys hostels and 4 girls hostels. The classrooms are good. 

Overall, Thapar University is a good institution and it has all the facilities in terms of academics and infrastructure.
